I went through the forums and noticed 
a post by UK.Intel regarding the text color and glow in full screen glass mode. How I missed that post we might never know, but I decided to add it to VistaGlazz two weeks ago to see if it would work. It didn’t. For some reason the addresses seemed to be off by a few bytes, not sure why. Anyway, using the screen shots I was able to retrieve the correct addresses and the patch works marvelously on my Vista x64 SP2 system and on my virtual Vista32 SP1. UK.Intel: Thank you for your post!
Meanwhile Yvo improved the diagnostic screen by adding auto repair functionality to fix the most common of VG related problems. He also managed to fix some minor general UI and reboot screen glitches.

It’s great to see
the amount of feedback we get on VistaGlazz 1.2. Thank you very much for that. I’ve done another re-release of the 1.2 version. In this build I’ve made the following changes:
- Diagnostic screen is now also available when you press F2 in VistaGlazz
- The help file contains a small description of the diagnostic screen
- Smarter Problems? button on the reboot screen, should be able to fix more errors
Feel free to download the latest version from here: VistaGlazzSetup.exe.
If you don’t have any problems there is no real reason to update your version.
A few hours ago I’ve released the new version of VistaGlazz 1.2. I noticed that some of our users still encounter the You have to reboot before you can use VistaGlazz-screen. For these users and other users that encounter problems with VistaGlazz I’ve created the Diagnostic screen.
How to use the Diagnostic screen
- Get the latest version of VistaGlazz (released 5min ago): VistaGlazzSetup.exe
- Run the program with the -diag commandline argument
- You’ll get a Diagnostic form instead of the normal VistaGlazz window
- Hit the Diagnose button and have a look at the output
The easiest way to set the commandline argument is to edit the VistaGlazz shortcut on your Desktop. Rightclick the shortcut and modify the Target field, add -diag after the command (after the last “). To run it normally remove the -diag again.
I hope this is of help to you. Feel free to post the diagnose output on the forum, with the additional information it should be easier for us to assist you.
Microsoft has released Windows Vista Service Pack 2 
and as we’ve come to expect custom style are still not supported. Therefor it’s my great pleasure to announce the release of VistaGlazz 1.2. In this version we’ve changed the following:
- Windows Vista SP2 support
- Major changes to the patching technique
- Asynchronous (read: speedier) start-up
- Few bug fixes/optimizations to both installer/VistaGlazz
I’ve tested the new release with my trusty virtual machines (SP1 and SP2 in both x86 and x64), but the new patching technique of course might not for your specific system. Remember to create a system restore point before you start patching. Refer to the VistaGlazz help file for more information.
To everyone using an earlier version of VistaGlazz. You can uninstall your old version and install the new version. You don’t have to unpatch your system, the new and the old version are compatible.
